The ‘Moana 2’ actor responds to speculation over several dubious behaviors seen on production.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is renowned for his larger-than-life demeanor. It is one of the factors that has facilitated his ascent to superstardom. Undoubtedly, similar to many entertainers of his kind, such celebrity is accompanied by certain dubious characteristics.

In a 2017 Instagram post, the “Moana” star unintentionally disclosed that he urinates in water bottles during intense workouts, which interns and aides occasionally discover. In 2021, he articulated to Esquire, “These are merely bottles that I am no longer utilizing.” Typically, the gyms where I exercise lack restroom facilities.

In a recent GQ cover article, he provided additional clarification. Upon inquiry over the matter, he responded, “Yes.” Such occurrences transpire.

Understood, Dwayne; it is repugnant, yet we comprehend. You are fully engaged and lack the opportunity to pause and locate a restroom. However, following the workout, should you—or an employee—dispose of those bottles to prevent others on set from encountering them?

The Great Bathroom Controversy was not the sole peculiar narrative that the “Jumanji” actor discussed in GQ. In April, The Wrap released a shocking exposé regarding Johnson’s purported misconduct on the set of his Christmas picture “Red One.” The article said that he is often seven to eight hours tardy to the set, resulting in the film’s budget escalating to $250 million.

Once more, Johnson was unequivocal, stating to GQ, “Indeed, that occurs.” He contested the notion that he was seven to eight hours late to the set, stating, “But not that amount, by the way.” That was an exorbitant price. That is astonishing. Absurd.


The “Fast & Furious” actor dismissed allegations of being challenging to collaborate with as “nonsense.” His “Red One” co-star Chris Evans concurs, stating that any tardiness on The Rock’s side is intentionally incorporated into the schedule, thereby rendering him technically punctual.

The producers, the director, and his entire team are all aware of this. Evans stated, “It is not as though he is unexpectedly tardy, and I would not even categorize it as late.” “He arrives slightly later on certain mornings, but it is intentional.” It is incorporated into the timetables, and all are aware of it, so he arrives as per his designated time.

Johnson is one of the film’s producers, so if we’re being honest, is anyone really going to question him on whether he’s difficult on set, or on how his tardiness affects everyone else? How often does anyone call out their boss when they’re late to a meeting? The answer is never.
